KS Modernizes Child Welfare System
DCF Announces Contracts Awarded to Modernize State’s Child Welfare System
New System Will Help Agency Work More Efficiently, Effectively
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) announced on July 22, 2025, three contracts have been awarded for the department’s new Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS). The CCWIS project will modernize DCF’s child welfare information systems and develop interfaces between the various agencies serving DCF’s Prevention and Protection Services (PPS) and Adult Protective Services (APS) programs.
Many states are pursuing CCWIS projects. Kansas’ CCWIS project will consolidate the functions of the agency’s multiple legacy information systems – most of which are based on 20th century technology – into a single, integrated solution that is flexible and collaborative, streamlining work processes and services for employees, partnering agencies, and clients.
The three new contracts joining the DCF project team include: Design, development, and implementation (DDI); independent verification and validation (IV&V); and quality assurance (QA). The three selected vendors will work with the DCF CCWIS project team to develop and implement the new system.
Design, Development, and Implementation Contract
The DDI contract is the largest contract for the project. This contractor will work alongside DCF staff to develop and roll out the new system. Eleven bids were received for the DDI RFP. RedMane Technology LLC, a Chicago-based software solutions and systems integration company, was selected during the competitive bid process and has been awarded a $44 million contract to design, develop, and implement the department’s CCWIS.
Since 2000, RedMane has created software solutions to help health and human services organizations implement, modernize, and optimize systems for child welfare, child support, and critical case management.
Independent Verification and Validation Contract
Maximus US Services, Inc. has been selected as the IV&V vendor. Maximus brings 23 years of experience, providing IV&V and real-time objective assessment services to the CCWIS project as well as independent oversight of the DDI contractor’s project performance and adherence to schedules and scope of work. The contract award amount is $2,192,200.
Quality Assurance Contract
CSG Government Solutions, headquartered in Chicago, has been selected as the Quality Assurance (QA) vendor for DCF’s CCWIS project. The CSG team offers 25 years of experience delivering quality assurance services for complex health and human services agencies across the country, including multiple active CCWIS projects.
Under the awarded contract valued at $4,745,760, CSG will provide quality analysis of the project’s output, validate system functionality, and ensure Kansas receives the system as contracted.
“A modern and adaptable information technology infrastructure system will help our employees and partners seamlessly work together to better serve Kansans,” said DCF Secretary Laura Howard. “We’re happy to be working with RedMane, Maximus, and CSG to bring the information technology side of Kansas’ child welfare system into the 21st century.”
Benefits of a CCWIS
The new CCWIS will replace multiple older systems, eliminating redundancy and standardizing practice and service delivery statewide. The CCWIS solution will better support key child welfare functions such as management of client files, intake functions, ongoing case management, visitation report entries, court record production, comprehensive reporting, and decision support processing.
Other key benefits may include:
- Improved interfaces with Title IV-A (TANF), Title IV-D (Child Support Enforcement), Title XIX (Medicaid), and the State’s financial and administrative systems;
- Better data sharing with key community partners, including courts, schools, law enforcement, and other state agencies;
- Data accuracy and timeliness.
Once implemented, the CCWIS solution will be fully compliant with the CCWIS Final Rule and subsequent communications by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
“This project aligns with our mission to protect children and promote healthy families by transforming our dated child welfare information technology systems into a modern, adaptable ecosystem that will provide the right services and supports needed to help support the well-being of Kansas children and families,” Howard said.
Process and Funding
DCF has spent the past few years planning for the new CCWIS. The project is expected to cost a total of $100 million over the estimated four-year development period. Approximately 50% of the total cost will come from the State General Fund and 50% from Federal IV-E funds.
During the 2024 Legislative session, Governor Laura Kelly requested, and the Kansas Legislature approved, an enhancement request for an additional $17 million per year for four years starting in FY2025. This $68 million of additional funding, along with $32 million from the base budget, will provide $100 million over the next four years to finish the development. The total cost includes contracts for DDI, QA, and IV&V vendors as well as costs for internal salaries, staffing contractors, travel, training, and other required contracts.
Timeline
Project initiation is anticipated to begin immediately now that all contracted partners have been approved by ACF and the State of Kansas. The DDI contract, the centerpiece of the project, is for four base years and includes three optional 36-month renewals.

American Heart Association’s Awards Showcases Life-Saving Care
Joplin, MO. – Freeman Health System has received five American Heart Association Get With The Guidelines® achievement awards for demonstrating commitment to following up-to-date, research-based guidelines for the treatment of heart disease and stroke, ultimately leading to more lives saved, shorter recovery times, and fewer readmissions to the hospital.
Heart disease and stroke are the number 1 and number 5 causes of death in the United States, respectively, according to American Heart Association data. Studies show patients can recover better when providers consistently follow treatment guidelines.
Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest evidence- and research-based guidelines. As a participant in the Get With The Guidelines programs, Freeman qualified for the awards by demonstrating how their organization has committed to improving quality care.
“Freeman is committed to improving care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines and streamlining processes to ensure timely and proper care for heart attacks and strokes,” said Paige Moschner, Director of Cardiac and Vascular Services at Freeman Heart & Vascular Institute. “Get With The Guidelines programs make it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which helps us ensure more people in Southwest Missouri experience longer, healthier lives.”
This year, Freeman received the following achievement awards:
* Get With the Guidelines – Coronary Artery Disease STEMI Receiving Center – Gold Plus Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll
* Get With the Guidelines – Stroke Gold Plus Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll
* Get With The Guidelines-Coronary Artery Disease NSTEMI Gold with Target: Type 2 Diabetes
* Get With the Guidelines – Resuscitation Silver – Pediatric
* Get With the Guidelines – Resuscitation Target Survival
“These awards show Freeman Health System’s commitment to caring for those in their community who need cardiovascular care,” said Donald Lloyd-Jones, past volunteer president of the American Heart Association and current volunteer chair of the Association’s Quality Oversight Committee. “By following the American Heart Association’s quality improvement protocols, Freeman can help realize our shared vision of improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions, and lower mortality rates—a win for health care systems, families, and communities.”

RECOGNITIONS
DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. Student Policies – Many following policies are revisions of current policies, and a few are new
policies for FSCC. These will be presented for final approval at the next regular board meeting.
• Accidents and Illnesses
• Coordination of Policies by Enforcement Official
• Copyright Policy
• Searches of Dorm Rooms and Students
• Student Conduct
• Student Educational Records
• Student Social Events40
ACCIDENTS AND ILLNESSES (update in grey)
If a faculty member or student becomes ill or is injured in a college-sponsored activity, the faculty
member should proceed with emergency care as the case may warrant, as described in this section. Any
college employee who discovers an accident involving a student on college property shall report the
accident in a timely manner to the appropriate dean or Vice President or designated representative and
follow the rules approved by the Board.
Only qualified college employees may assist a student suspected of injury other than attempting to
make the student as comfortable as possible while waiting for competent medical treatment. Qualified
employees, for the purpose of this policy, are those employees who have successfully completed an
approved Red Cross first aid program or who have otherwise been approved by the President to
administer treatment. College employees shall not attempt to treat any student injury after the initial
treatment of emergency first aid. The college will not assume liability for employees acting outside the
scope of their authority under these policies.
ACCIDENTS AND ILLNESSES (PROPOSED CHANGE)
Fort Scott Community College (FSCC) is committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for
students, faculty, staff, and visitors. In the event of an accident occurring on campus, it is essential that
all incidents are properly reported and, when necessary, emergency personnel are contacted
immediately.
Procedure
1. Emergency Response
o If an accident results in serious injury or poses an immediate danger, individuals should
call 911 or contact campus security immediately.
o If medical attention is needed but is not an emergency, individuals should seek
assistance from local medical providers or campus personnel.
2. Accident Reporting
o All accidents, regardless of severity, must be reported through the FSCC Accident
Report Form, which is available online.
o The accident form should be completed as soon as possible by the individual involved, a
witness, or an FSCC employee.
o Completed forms will be submitted to the appropriate FSCC office for review and
record-keeping.
3. Follow-Up and Documentation
o The college administration will review accident reports and take appropriate follow-up
actions as needed.
o If necessary, FSCC may conduct an internal review to address any safety concerns and
implement preventive measures.
Compliance
Failure to report an accident may result in corrective action as deemed appropriate by FSCC
administration.41
COORDINATION OF POLICIES BY ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL (new proposal below)
Law enforcement officers may be requested to assist in controlling disturbances of the college
environment which the President or other college administrators have found to be unmanageable and
which have the potential of causing harm to students, other persons or college property, who have
exhibited undesirable or illegal conduct on college premises or at a college event held on college
property and who have been requested to leave by an administrator, but have failed or refused to do so.
College administrators shall meet at least annually with local law enforcement officials to discuss the
college’s policy and rules regarding law enforcement contacts with the college. Law enforcement
officials will be asked to instruct their staffs as to the terms of the college’s policies and rules
Investigation of Student Conduct
Designated college officials, as appointed by the President, are authorized to investigate and question
students regarding potential violations of college policies, the student conduct code, or other
infractions. If there is reasonable belief that a criminal law has been violated, the administrator shall
notify the appropriate law enforcement agency and may request further investigation into the alleged
violation.
Coordination with Law Enforcement
College administrators may engage in periodic meetings with local law enforcement agencies to discuss
policies and protocols related to law enforcement interactions with the college. Law enforcement
officers shall not conduct investigations on campus during college hours unless an emergency situation
necessitates immediate action. In such cases, the administrator must verify the identity of the officers
and the justification for the investigation or questioning of a student. If the administrator determines
that the identification or justification is insufficient, the request may be denied. The administrator shall
make reasonable efforts to notify the President and the officer’s superiors if a request is refused.
Handling Criminal Violations
Any information regarding criminal activity occurring on campus shall be reported to the appropriate
law enforcement agency for further action.
Law Enforcement Custody of Students
College officials shall not voluntarily release students to law enforcement unless the student has been
formally placed under arrest or taken into custody by law enforcement or another authorized agency. If
a student is taken into custody on college premises without prior notification to college administration,
the college staff present shall request that the law enforcement officer notify an administrator as soon
as possible.
Managing Campus Disturbances
Law enforcement officers may be called upon to assist in managing disruptions on campus. If necessary,
officers may take students or other individuals into custody to restore order and ensure the safety of the
college community.42
SEARCHES OF DORM ROOMS AND STUDENTS (same, but added wording in blue)
Searches of dorm rooms and students shall be conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines
found in the Housing Handbook. No law enforcement officer may search any dorm room without a
search warrant unless he has the consent of the President or designee and is accompanied by the
President or designated representative. If a law enforcement officer wishes to search a student’s dorm
room, and he has a warrant for such search, the President or a designated representative shall
immediately take such person to the student’s dorm room and permit him to search the room.43
STUDENT CONDUCT (revised)
All student behavior shall be based upon respect and consideration for the rights of others. Students
shall be responsible for knowing, and abiding by, the rules and regulations of the college. The college
assumes that all students are able and willing to maintain standards of self-discipline appropriate to
membership in a college community. A rigid code of conduct is purposely omitted in order to establish
confidence in this assumption. The college reserves the right to take disciplinary measures in the best
interest of FSCC. Discipline is the responsibility of the Dean of Students. Cases involving minor
infractions of normal discipline are handled by the Disciplinary Review Board. Disciplinary action will be
initiated when a student’s behavior/action is determined to be dangerous to that individual’s
health/well being, infringement on others’ rights, damage to college property, or any other situation
which reflects negatively on the college community, programs, organizations, or activities. The college
reserves the right to dismiss a student whose conduct is at any time unsatisfactory in the judgment of
college officials. Conflicts with rules/regulations governing the following areas place a student in
violation, and subject to discipline of the Student Code of Conduct. Students should refer to the Student
Handbook for specific offenses that violate the student conduct expectations. (added this to remove the
listing below)
ALCOHOL AND DRUG POLICY – Alcoholic beverages and illegal drugs are prohibited on college
property. Possession, distribution or use of alcoholic beverages, 3.2 beer, or the unlawful

THEFT/VANDALISM – Theft or damage to college or other’s property will subject students to
college disciplinary measures as well as legal action.
TRAFFIC LAWS AND REGULATIONS – All local and state regulations are in effect on campus 24
hours a day. City, county and state law enforcement agencies have jurisdiction on campus. All

STUDENT EDUCATIONAL RECORDS & PRIVACY RIGHTS (proposed new policy)
Fort Scott Community College (FSCC) complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA) of 1974 in the collection, maintenance, and dissemination of student records. FERPA grants
certain rights to students who are 18 years of age or older or who attend a postsecondary institution.
These rights include:

o If the requested records are maintained by a different office, the student will be
directed to the appropriate official.
2. Right to Request an Amendment
o Students may request corrections to their education records if they believe the
information is inaccurate, misleading, or violates their privacy rights under FERPA.
3. Right to Control Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

“The Fort Scott 16b Mud Turtles have finished their summer season,” said Chrystal Cowan, coach. “One of the many highlights of the season was the KC Metro World Series Championship, in which the crew battled through rain, lightning, and extreme heat. The team has fought adversity this summer, but has managed to put it all together and continue to fight for each other. Southeast Kansas is loaded with softball talent, and continues to dish out incredibly skilled kids!”
The girls are coached by Cowan, Zack Marsh, and Eric Loercher.
“The 16U Mud Turtles participated in a softball tournament on the weekend of July 11-13th,”. The team competed against 24 other regional teams and went undefeated to win the tournament. The girls on the team have been playing together for almost eight years and display remarkable sportsmanship and teamwork,” said Marnie Zimmerman, an aunt to Lexie Forester, a member of the team.
This group of young athletes is a 16-year-old and under traveling softball team from Fort Scott.
